Conan O'Brien to Star in Sharktopus vs Pteracuda on Syfy

Conan O'Brien announced on his TBS late night talk show that he will be starring in the upcoming Syfy TV-movie Sharktopus vs Pteracuda (which had its poster debut here on IGN).

Along with the announcement came the grand unveiling of a billboard that "touts" Conan's role in Sharktopus vs Pteracuda as "A career-defining performance." Check out the advertisement for O'Brien's "Emmy and/or Oscar and/or BAFTA"-considered performance below:

Here's another advertisement, celebrating O'Brien's feature-film appearance, along with an "endorsement" from Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese (The Wolf of Wall Street):

While Conan has appeared in past feature-films, he often plays himself -- except notably in the animated film Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, when he voiced the David Letterman-inspired talk show host David Endocrine.
